Ford Models shook up its top management last week when the company let go of Paul Rowland, who ran Ford’s women’s division, and his partner, agent Mohammed Fajar, Page Six can exclusively reveal. Rowland joined Ford in 2010 after launching Women and Supreme modeling agencies in Paris, and brought Farji with him. Sources told us that Ford’s owners Altpoint Capital Partners brought in Rowland and Fajar with the hopes of broadening the agency’s roster, and Rowland at the time proclaimed Ford was a “classic agency needing a facelift.” But since then, sources say Rowland and Fajar, two highly paid executives, “got too demanding for the agency” and were “spending money on Diptyque candles and flying back and forth to France” while not bringing in new business. Sources also said Rowland had frequent conflicts with other staffers and models. Ford’s roster of faces include Sports Illustrated model Damaris Lewis, Kris Humphries’ sister Kaela Humphries and Porschla Coleman (wife of Knick Jason Kidd). A Ford rep declined to comment.
